preamp pickup question

i plan to buy a new preamp and pickups for my bass. looks like the preamp might be a crapsmas thing and i will be buying the pickups after. what i'm wondering is if it would make things easier to install both at once or if the wiring of the two dosen't affect each other. i don't mess with electronics which sucks because i hate pretending to trust people
